it is not a bigger government we need but a smarter government that sets priorities and invests in broad-based growth. ( applause ) that's what we should be looking for. our first priority is making america a magnet for new jobs in manufacturing. after shedding jobs for more than ten years our manufacturers have added about 500,000 jobs over the past three. caterpillar is bringing jobs back from japan. ford is bringing jobs back from mexico. and this year apple will start making macs in america again. ( applause ) there are things we can do right now to accelerate this trend. last year we created our first manufacturing innovation institute in youngstown, ohio. a once shuttered warehouse is now a state-of-the-art lab where new workers are mastering the 3d printing that has the possibility to revolutionize how we make almost everything. there's no reason why this can't happen in other town. i'm announcing the launch of three more of these manufacturing houses where businesses will partner with the department of defense and energy to turn regions left behind by globalization into global centers

and it wouldn't make anyone lose their job. >> reporter: that money would come from the government, is what you're saying. >> that's the point. so what people are doing is trying to help without spending taxpayer dollars and it's not going to work. it's not going to help. it's going to hurt fewer people than you help but those people are going to be hurt very, very badly. losing your job is a terrible thing to have to suffer. >> it's a terriblable thing. and the president last night laid out-- perhaps not at the scale needed for the joblessness that is the real crisis in this country-- programs like a 21st century work projects administration to repair the deteriorating infrastructure. but so often the republicans are so antigovernment they're not willing to consider what kevin just spoke of, subsidies to employers. we need to think anew. part of that, if i might add, is that we need to tax wealth more not work. we need to think harder about how it is that the concentration of wealth has become so high and we can find ways, whether it's a financial transaction tax, making sure dividend

>> yes, the government announced an evaluation while chavez was away. they said that was a decision that was consulled with them. of course it was a decision that many experts thought that the government might put off for a bit longer precisely because it is rather controversial decision that was criticized by the main opposition leader. >> suarez: did the prices of oil consumer goods immediately rise once that evaluation was announced? >> no, they didn't. and the reason for that is a bit complicated. but it's basic allegation that the government is sort of easing in to the devaluation by allowing some purchases of certain goods that were already approved through the government currency agency for a limited time because they were already approved that those purchases can be made and those dollars can be made available. that is lessening somewhat the immediate impact on inflation although inflation is already at 22% and most economists say they think it's likely to be pushed higher as a result of the devaluation. >> suarez: who would you say is really ru
